When The Night Comes

This visual novel is filled with good writing when it comes to the lore, especially the relationship between Harry and James. Combat scenes could be written out a bit more in my honest opinion, but at the same time it feels just right. Pacing is great, I love the worldbuilding of Lunaris- it feels at home once we reach the ending (if we have a romance or not). When it comes to the love interests and their respective routes: Omen stole my heart at first, but as I played I could not hep but notice how cute of a relationship he has with Alkar, and so their poly route was my first route in this vn. It was the cutest and most fullfilling route as the three of them discovered things about themselves and loved each other dearly. Although throughout the gameplay someone kept stealing my attention... I will talk about the second route I took last just to tease Piper's route was great- two generals protecting the city, lots of teasing between the two as well. It felt as if it was the right choice to be with her between all the other routes. Their dynamic felt just right for the city of Lunaris to see. Two hunters who are prohibited from forming bonds eventually falling for each other... Alkar's and Omen's monogamous routes were not as fullfilling as their poly route (especially Omen's, Alkar's route was great nonetheless), it was kind of sad/hard to go through with them after experiencing their poly route, so if you plan to do their mono routes do them first. It was hard to choose only one when the game gave the option to enter poly route ngl lmao Ezra's and Finn's routes were good, we learned so much about the lore of Lunaris, of the beasts and other things. Somehow on all 3 of their routes (mono and poly) I felt as if my character was the 3rd wheel, despite the two always focusing a lot on my character. Despite that, they were interesting. Ezra is such a sweetheart, I would give the world to him. Last but definitely not least was the second route I took. August. I could talk about them for DAYS, there is just something about them that kept me drawn towards them, and their route was amazing. How they opened up to my character, the homey love between the two, the teasing and work dynamic as well. I feel like my character (and myself lmao) could not be happier with anyone else. Their art in the game is so gorgeous and breathtaking... Definitely stole my character's heart (and mine too). Their wedding story was great. Honestly everything seemed like it just fell into place when romancing August. We created our own little home with them. Overall, the story is amazing, although a bit predictable. The dialogues distinct for each character- definitely something to look forward to in vn's, as each character got their own personality actually SHOWN quite well. Even the non-romanceable characters too. Definitely worth it to buy on sale, as well as full price. I wish we got a bit more interactions between some characters though, but still it was tuly amazing. . . . August keeps me in a chokehold still
